Stand on the pedals you get a distinct sound like metal being stretched--somewhere between a creak and a clunk.

No obvious play in crank, pedals are fairly new and seem OK. I'm leaning towards chain and/or quicklink.

THoughts?
Process of elimination.

Remove pedals and try another pair.

If that's not it, remove chainrings and grease and replace bolts.

If that's not it, remove crank and make sure greased and seated well.

If that's not it, remove bottom bracket and reinstall assuming everything is faced and chased well enough.

If that's not it install a new BB (maybe) Sq taper I assume?

If that's not it check everything on your stem/bar/HS situation.

If that's not it, wear earbuds and turn up the volume or peruse the Classified for a new bike
